IR1 / CR1 - Montreal Timeline to Interview

[sly_wolf 199]

Good luck Sly, look forward to hearing your review!

Most defintely! I can't wait to hear how it goes! I went to Montreal this past week for a couple days. It was sort of spontaneous... lol, but I did take a plane. When I got there, my husband's fuel pump had frozen so we were at the airport until about 130am. It was a much needed trip, but I wish you the best of luck with everything. How far do you live from Montreal?

I live in the western tip of Montreal. They are now predicting bad weather for tomorrow which is going to make that morning drive into the city a nightmare. Hope it goes well.

Finally approved!!

Just got back from my interview a while ago. Bad weather today so I left early and arrived at the consulate at 7:30. There was only 1 other person waiting and they let both of us in a few minutes later.

To summarize, it was quick, easy and painless. I was finished and out of there by 8:45. There was only one moment of panic because they could not find one of my original documents. Luckily they found it clipped to a bunch of papers destined for shredding It made made me think that it would be a good idea to have duplicate originals just in case. Anyways, thank god she found it. The interviewer was very friendly and he only asked a few general questions about how I met my wife, what she does and what I do etc. At the end he told me that they would mail my package so I figured I would ask if I can pick up. He agreed and told me to come back tomorrow. I am now scheduled to pick up my papers and passport at the consulate at noon tomorrow. Hope the weather is better tomorrow though.

Many thanks to all the VJ gang.

Sorry to hear that Kim! What was it for? (you can just say you don't want to say if you ...don't want to say )

[Travis & Kim 0]

haha, my wonderful husband FORGOT to put his name at the top of the I-864

yep, that's all =p

I have been gently harassing him for a few days now - it may be a blessing in disguise tho since i really don't want an interview till April due to our Ireland trip at the end of March

unless my interview woudl have been for Feb, but history say's that woudl have been most impossible

Picked up my visa today. I was wondering why they never took my xray. Will I need this when I enter the US with the visa?

Sly

You do not need your xray anymore. You can trash it if you want. The consulate worker suggested that I keep my chest xray and give it to my new family physician once I got set up in the US, so that in the future they could have something to compare results too.

I promptly threw it in the trash at the hotel room. I hated lugging that thing around.

PS: Congrats on getting your visa. YEAH FOR YOU!
